Section 45, the bright moon shines on the ditch
It wasn't until the carriage carrying Linglong and Xiyun drove into the alley that Jiang Tian's hanging heart was put down, and the Wu family was still talking, and they didn't embarrass the two little girls. Naturally, there are a lot of doubts about this matter, but Jiang Tian can't understand for a while, why the emperor's righteous sister would meet two lowly women? If it is said that the same disease sympathizes with her own life experience, but so many Fengyue places in the capital have not been cared for by her, and according to the standards of this era, even if no one dares to openly ridicule her background, she should usually try to keep a low profile. According to the information he inquired about during this time, it is true that this person rarely appears in public. The things he couldn't understand could only be put aside for the time being, seeing that he was getting westerly, a very real problem was placed in front of Jiang Tian, because he temporarily took his attention back, and he found that there were a lot of girls around him, some with heavy makeup and some with a little powder, some secretly sent Qiu Bo to him, and some pretended to pass by.
To say that this Jiang Tian is not a Taoist gentleman with a rigid head, and the atmosphere of the world is still a kind of elegant thing for scholars to linger in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, but when a young Xiu who is only in his early twenties shows favor to himself in the face of more than a dozen girls, and he appears in front of him at the same time, even Jiang Tian, who is a person of two generations, is a little overwhelmed, and then again, this kind of scene is not something that everyone can enjoy. Xinyue looked at her from the side and was anxious, don't look at her as a professional, but after all, she has not experienced the affairs of men and women, so she can't pull her face to give her arms to her arms, and after such a long time of observation, the entire Yihong Mansion knows that Jiang Tian is not the kind of monkey anxious pervert, even in the face of a beauty like Linglong, no one knows what type of girl he likes, so far, except for Xinyue who can get close to him with a familiar face, others really haven't had too many temptations.
Linglong, who walked into the courtyard, frowned when she saw Jiang Tian, neither had the arrogant demeanor she had before nor turned to leave, she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, Jiang Tian didn't care about her, but walked towards Xiyun, who was originally following Linglong, saw Jiang Tian just wanted to come up and talk, but after glancing at Linglong again, she had to endure it and didn't move. Jiang Tian didn't care so much, he directly ignored Linglong and walked in front of Xi Yun, looked at it for a moment and patted the top of her head with a smile.
"Looks like I didn't embarrass you, right?"
A big man patted the head of a twelve-year-old girl, which can be regarded as a brother's love for his sister in any era, but the girls in the red mansion don't see it that way. If Jiang Tian knew that they would think like this, I am afraid that he would be able to vomit blood directly. As for Linglong next to him, it was rare that he didn't say sarcastic words this time, but turned around and left a little melancholy.
"Sir, don't you believe my Wu family?" A hearty voice with a slightly ridiculous tone floated in with Wu Yuan's figure: "Since I promised Mr., then I will definitely keep my promise, and now I will send Miss Xiyun back as it is." ”
Jiang Tian had no choice but to put away his concern for his little sister first, and squeezed out a little smile to answer him: "How could I not believe you, I just couldn't figure it out." ”
Those prostitutes and turtle slaves may not bend down to salute when they see Jiang Tian, but after seeing Wu Yuan, they absolutely abide by the etiquette, not to mention that this person's status is prominent, that is, the other party can casually let the Ministry of Rites vacate the entire Yihong Mansion, it can be seen that he is a person with excellent skills, so for a while, all the women bowed down.
At this moment, I saw Liu Baokai and Song Yi walking in together, and the pervert shouted as he walked: "It just so happens that you are all here, today Dexin is not drunk and will not return!" ”
People in this kind of place are all active in the six ways, and everyone can see that Jiang Tian has a deep vigilance, this Liu Xiaogong shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door, obviously to ease or even suppress some kind of bad signs, since there are peacemakers coming forward, they don't have to be caught in the middle and be difficult to be, and hurriedly agreed to come down and turned around to prepare for the banquet. In fact, there is only this table of flowers and wine in the entire courtyard, how can there be so many people busy, and it is not to take the opportunity to leave the place of right and wrong, at this time, there is a clever secret arrangement.
Wu Yuan also couldn't wait to find an opportunity to win Jiang Tian's trust, and everyone outside called him a fake prince, but in fact, he had no blood relationship with the emperor at all. Jiang Tian is a real disciple of the Son of Heaven, this will inevitably be more beautiful than him in the future, no matter what, he can't let this future heavyweight look at him unpleasantly, so he deliberately followed Liu Baokai's words to divert the topic.
"Oh? Brother Song is rare and good Yaxing, why do you donate money today? ”
Song Yi naturally knows the rights and wrongs here, he can be dragged by the pervert to accompany him and tie up, so he raised a copper cylinder in his hand and said proudly: "Mr. Jiang's mirrors have all been developed today, and the moon is still bright tonight, so I came here to drink and watch the Moon Palace." ”
What he was holding in his hand was a reflecting telescope, but because the mirror was relatively small, it was not a problem to see a crater, and it could not be compared with the giant things built on the top of the mountain in later generations, let alone things like watching the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. However, this is also the first time in the world that such a telescope has been used to observe celestial objects, which is something to celebrate with a drink. Jiang Tian took the telescope and looked carefully into the lens barrel, the objective lens was smooth and the curved surface looked very smooth, it should be the best that can be produced by today's processing methods.
The banquet is placed in an octagonal pavilion, with the resources of the entire Qinglou to serve these people, the dishes that can be taken out and the girls who accompany the wine are naturally the essence here, and they only wait for the willows on the moon to change the glass, so as to verify whether there are immortals on the moon. In fact, none of the people present put their minds on drinking for fun, Wu Yuan wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Jiang Tian, Song Yi and Liu Baokai were helping the fake prince, only Jiang Tian held back his stomach full of questions and had no chance to say it, not only that, but there were also two beautiful and delicious beauties who sandwiched him in the middle, one left and one right, and this kept persuading the wine and leaning on the side to tease a few times intentionally or unintentionally. The pervert didn't forget to envy it on the sidelines.
"Sir, it's really a blessing, this quiet sister rarely works together, if it weren't for Wu Gongzi to wrap up this Yihong Mansion, I would have seen her at the same time at the banquet, both of them are encounterable but unwantable!" It didn't take long for the nature of the pervert to be at a glance, and his hands were not idle holding the soft of the beautiful woman beside him, but he was still staring at the two people around Jiang Tian.
Song Yi is a little more reserved in comparison, not so anxious, but he is not in a hurry to verify the effect of the telescope, on the contrary, he is still following this atmosphere to add fuel to the fire: "What Brother Liu Xian said is true, I heard that it was the last time that the princes with titles in Beijing gathered on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so there was today's pomp, Mr. Jiang should not waste this beautiful day......
Jiang Tian was a little strange at the beginning, Song Yi, who was obviously a professional talent, also coaxed along, and as soon as she came up, she let this quiet sister sit next to her, not to mention that it is worthy of the signboard of the Red Mansion, this sister Qingshuang is as her name suggests, she seems to be quiet and elegant but plays some small actions in the dark from time to time, she is a typical iceberg beauty who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. As for her sister Youlan, she is not as peaceful as her name, she is a passionate girl, if it weren't for Jiang Tian's always expression, the two of them would have succeeded a long time ago.
There is a reason why Jiang Tian is not interested in beauties, firstly, he has been tense and wants to set Wu Yuan's words, and his attention has always been focused on the dialogue, and it is inevitable that he will neglect the people around him a little. Besides, there was a precedent of drinking and making mistakes, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have made so many high-profile moves, causing a lot of unnecessary trouble, so Jiang Tian has always been careful not to repeat history. Secondly, he is also very concerned about the performance of this reflecting telescope, after all, he has never used a telescope of this structure in his previous life, who is not an astronomy enthusiast who would have nothing to spend a high price to buy this kind of telescope? Therefore, although I know the structure and principle, I am worried that my memory will be biased and the performance of the guide zhì will be insufficient.
Wu Yuan was also observing Jiang Tian, he was very surprised that this poor talent could still restrain his youthful impulsive desire, after all, they were all the same age, who of you couldn't understand the needs of this aspect? But after two banquets for Jiang Tian in a row, the young Linglong and Xinyue couldn't impress him, and the veteran Qingyu sisters in the party couldn't distract him, how much perseverance and strong spirit did it take? In a way, this is also admirable self-control.
As a veteran at the wine table, the pervert could see that something was not quite right in the atmosphere, although he was also very curious about why Wu Yuan wanted to woo Jiang Tian again and again, because Jiang Xiucai's current identity was already in a semi-public state, and there was no need to hand it over like this, otherwise it would make people look like they were flattering, even if it was to make friends after the other party soared in the future, there was no need to be so explicit, right? So he raised his glass as if he was hitting his head with alcohol.
"Drink and talk tonight, how can you not have music! I wonder if Miss Linglong can dedicate a song? ”
These words were said in a questioning tone, but they were real orders, and the shouts of the sisters and sisters were usually just a play, how could any prostitute be serious. Especially in the current situation, you just shirk and say that there are too many guests and you can't serve them well, so no matter how unwilling this Linglong is, she still has to come out with a pipa to perform.
After sitting down on a brocade bench in the courtyard, Linglong still had the same expression of rejection thousands of miles away: "I don't know what the sons want to hear?" ”
Wu Yuan showed a look of embarrassment, and turned his head to look at the others: "You have come more often, and I don't know what those songs are good at, so let's have some of them." ”
Song Yi came to make soy sauce today, so he waved his hand indifferently. Liu Baokai originally wanted to ease the atmosphere, and he didn't know much about music, so he wanted to order a glamorous song like Eighteen Touches, but he was afraid of making people laugh on such an occasion, so he also pushed this responsibility to Jiang Tian: "Mr. Jiang is the master of the world, so it's up to Mr. to decide." ”
Jiang Tian arched his hand and thanked him, and said after a slight sigh: "I didn't want to work as a girl today, but since Brother Yijian wants to listen to you play a song, and it is a bright moonlit night in autumn, why don't you bother to play that song "Autumn Moon Night"?" ”
Before Linglong could answer, Wu Yuan became excited: "Why haven't you heard of this brand, but it's a new work?" ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, the fake prince became even more excited: "Mr. is really hidden, and he has a blessing in the next day!" ”
In fact, this piece was originally an alternative in the rehearsal of the last performance, according to Jiang Tian's assumption, because he didn't know when it would be performed, so he prepared two ensembles of pipa and flute, and playing "Pipa Language" during the day to catch up with the night performance is this "Autumn Moon Night", so this is also the first public performance.
The cold sound of the pipa echoed in the night sky, with a little sadness in the melancholy, no dazzling fingering, just a gentle plucking of the strings, and the concise but heartfelt notes stirred the heartstrings. There is no impetuousness and madness in the song at all, and the exquisite image in the candle shadow is more and more beautiful and lovely. Wu Yuan was naturally fascinated by what he heard, and even a semi-literate person like Liu Baokai was attracted and couldn't extricate himself. Song Yi followed the sound of the piano and looked up at the sky, and sure enough, a bright moon was already hanging high in the sky, and this song was really appropriate.
Now that he can see the full moon, it is time for another event to appear, Jiang Tian has always been eager to finish today's banquet after watching the moon quickly, to be honest, he has never known how to get along with Wu Yuan, and always feels that this kid has a kind of old age that does not belong to this age, and it is not as simple and direct as when talking to a pervert. Remove the leftovers on the table and put the tea and fruits on the cold burn, and the natural telescope is in the center. Not to mention the perverts, they are eager to try, even those who don't know anything about science are very curious, it is rumored that there is a moon palace and Chang'e on the moon, can it be said that today you can get a glimpse of its full picture? Looking at the eager eyes of these people, Song Yi was not in a hurry, in fact, he had already tried to use this mirror to look into the distance during the day, and the magnification was indeed not comparable to ordinary binoculars, and it was estimated that there would be no problem with observing the moon, but he had already known from Jiang Tian that in fact, there were no things in those myths and stories on the moon at all, but a dead and silent world. Seeing that Song Yi seemed to have adjusted his position, Wu Yuan and the pervert scrambled to get a glimpse of what was going on, and the two of them looked carefully at the eyepiece for a long time, not to mention that Chang'e didn't see it, even the Jade Rabbit was nowhere to be seen.
"Sir, how can there be so many pockmarks on this moon?" After watching it for a while, Wu Yuan had to ask this question.
"Then you have to see if there is a small bulge at the bottom of the pit of these pockmarks."
"What if there is?"
"That means the pit was smashed!"
When it comes to this kind of topic, Jiang Tian can always explain endlessly, and the arguments and arguments are easy to understand and very convincing. Now those quiet sisters who were still trying to seduce him just now were fascinated, and Xinyue couldn't let go of this opportunity, she had already hidden aside and eavesdropped, and looked at the telescope and drooled, but unfortunately there was only one in the world, with her appearance, if she did that charming way, maybe she could come over to take a look, but she resisted her impulse, she was worried that her frivolous behavior would make Jiang Tian unhappy, she had always shown herself as a talented woman, and it was even more difficult for her to lose her virtuous appearance to be coquettish than to ascend to the sky. In his heart, he was reluctant to take this opportunity, who knows if Song Yi will be able to take out this kind of treasure next time, in case of paying tribute to the palace Ouchi, it will really be impossible to see each other forever.
It's still struggling here, but the quiet sisters over there don't have so many worries, and the convenience of the building near the water allows them to make requests to the men in a greasy manner. Jiang Tian also noticed that many people around him wanted to squeeze over and open their eyes, and he also noticed that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said. Don't look at these knowledge are very basic content in high school geography, but for the Chinese of this era, it is already amazing to be able to explain the various mysteries of the moon so thoroughly, not to mention that such a clear telescope was invented by itself. So Jiang Tian decided not to say more about the moon until now.
After making up his mind, he decisively beckoned to the surroundings: "Since you all want to take a look, then take advantage of this opportunity to take a good look, and it is also a good conversation point when bragging to others." ”
Listening to him say this, how can the people around him still have a reason not to come around, and the result is that the originally very elegant son's party was swallowed up by the surging "crowd", and everyone around did not want to squeeze forward to open their eyes and listen to this highly learned Xiucai to explain. In this way, Wu Yuan, who had other thoughts, was marginalized, and the clever fake prince could of course see that this was Jiang Tian's trick, which was tantamount to issuing an order to evict the guest, but he was not angry, called a turtle slave and muttered a few words in a low voice, and then took out an ingots and stuffed them into the other party's hands. These actions were all watched by the pervert, but he didn't say it, but wanted to see what he wanted to do.
After fully satisfying his curiosity, even Xinyue didn't dare to dwell on it for too long, Wu Yuan over there also felt that it was not too early, so he raised his glass to say goodbye to everyone, Jiang Tian did not accompany him to drink the last glass of wine, and he only felt a sense of relief in his heart, and finally fooled this kid away. From his point of view, although this person claimed to be a fake prince, the crossing emperor obviously would not tell him the secret, so Jiang Tian always maintained due vigilance against all kinds of temptations, intentional or unintentional, for fear of revealing information that should not be said.
Song Yi was also about to pack up his binoculars and go home, but he saw the pervert give him a look, of course Song Gongzi knew that his friend would not go home so early, but this look had a deep meaning. So he hurriedly pretended to be a sperm worm and laughed with the girl who accompanied the wine, pretending to be intentionally romantic. Among the four people, only Jiang Tian didn't know that the glass of wine he had just drunk was mixed with an aphrodisiac that prostitutes often prepared.
